Also available in:
Since November 1996, when the last FAO/GIEWS Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited the country, serious security problems precluded any meaningful assessment of the food situation in Sierra Leone. It was only towards the end of 1999, following a peace agreement and the restoration of a civilian administration, that it became possible, albeit to a limited extent, to engage in such an exercise. Accordingly, FAO/GIEWS fielded a short mission from 29 November to 11 December to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the food situation to the extent that circumstances allowed. This report is the outcome of that mission. The Mission acknowledges the valuable contributions from a range of agencies and organizations, private and public, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Marine Resources (MAFE), WFP, World Vision International (WVI), EC, USAID, CRS, AFRICARE, Action Contre La Faim (ACF) and CARE. The mission also had detailed discussions with some members of the National Association of Farmers of Sierra Leone. -

Also available in:
In view of the late onset and poor spatial distribution of rains reported during the 1997 Masika and long rains season, a serious reduction in domestic food supplies was anticipated for the current 1997/98 marketing year (June/May). It was envisaged that food supplies from the 1998 secondary Vuli crop would ease the food situation somewhat. However, since October last year the country received unprecedented rainfall, which resulted in widespread flooding and damage to the agriculture sector and infrastructure, particularly the transport system. In view of these developments and ongoing food supply concerns, the Government requested an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to assess the outcome of the 1998 Vuli crop, review early prospects for the 1998 main Masika and long rains crop and evaluate the overall food supply situation for the remaining part of the current 1997/98 marketing year to the end of May.
